459: Chapter 459 Qin Mengyao, who has reached a deal and is preparing to call in reinforcements.

Saintess Qin Mengyao became slightly interested: "What kind of deal?"

Lin Ran said: "The Flood Dragon you are looking for is currently hiding in a deep pool."

"And beneath that deep pool, there lies a piece of ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice."

"We will take you to find that Flood Dragon. As for that piece of ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice, you must find a way to seize it for me. How about it?"

"ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice?!"

Saintess Qin Mengyao's expression was one of extreme astonishment.

Her origins were extraordinary, so she naturally knew what a piece of ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice signified.

However... how did Lin Ran dare to reveal that piece of ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice to her so openly and without any concern?

Could it be...

Saintess Qin Mengyao's gaze narrowed slightly as she said: "If I refuse this deal of yours, will you kill me?"

Lin Ran smiled eerily: "What do you think?"

He had already revealed the ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice; if Saintess Qin Mengyao did not agree, he certainly would not let her leave alive to spread the news.

"Little brother, you really are quite heartless."

"I will agree to your deal. After all... your big sister is in the prime of her youth and doesn't want to die just yet."

Saintess Qin Mengyao smiled charmingly.

Lin Ran nodded slightly: "Then make a Heavenly Dao oath."

Saintess Qin Mengyao rolled her eyes at him immediately and said helplessly: "Little brother, you really have so many tricks up your sleeve. Are they all meant to be used against your big sister?"

Despite saying that, she still obediently swore the Heavenly Dao oath.

As a powerful fluctuation of the Heavenly Dao descended upon Saintess Qin Mengyao, Lin Ran knew that if she failed to help him seize the ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice, she would surely meet a miserable end.

With this, he felt much more at ease.

"By the way, I still don't know your name or what to call you, little brother."

Saintess Qin Mengyao blinked her alluring and charming eyes as she asked.

"Lin Ran."

Lin Ran said with a calm expression.

"Mm, I am Saintess Qin Mengyao of the Green Dragon God Clan."

"Why don't we head back first to regroup with Senior Guang and the others before making further plans?"

Saintess Qin Mengyao suggested with a smile.

Lin Ran shook his head: "I'm afraid it will be very difficult to slay that Flood Dragon with only the people you brought."

Saintess Qin Mengyao was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"That Flood Dragon is currently at the Tianji God Realm. As for exactly which level, we do not know."

"And among the people you brought, there isn't even a single expert at the Tianji God Realm. I'm afraid they wouldn't even be enough to whet its appetite."

Lin Ran shook his head and spoke truthfully.

Saintess Qin Mengyao was shocked: "What?! That traitor has already reached the Tianji God Realm?!"

"It was clearly only at the Tianxuan Divine Realm not long ago... That's it! It must have been that piece of ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice that helped it break through to the Tianji God Realm!"

At this point, only that piece of ten-thousand-year immortal spirit ice could have helped the traitor break through to the Tianji God Realm in such a short time.

It was fortunate that they hadn't encountered the traitor earlier. Otherwise, with the cultivation levels of her group, just as Lin Ran said, they truly would not have been enough to whet its appetite.

"Thank you for telling me this, little brother. These words of yours are equivalent to saving my life."

Saintess Qin Mengyao cupped her hands slightly.

"It wasn't to save you; it was merely for my own sake," Lin Ran said indifferently.

"Hmph! You really are completely unromantic! You stinky little brother!"

Saintess Qin Mengyao rolled her eyes at Lin Ran, took the token from her waist, and began transmitting a message to her clan.

Since the traitor had now broken through to the Tianji God Realm, she had to have the clan send people with at least Tianji God Realm cultivation.

Moreover, the traitor had stolen their clan's divine scripture, and its strength might have become unfathomable. A single Tianji God Realm expert would likely struggle to be its match; they would need several to come.

Furthermore, if even Tianji God Realm experts were not enough to take down the traitor, then she would have no choice but to request clansmen with Tianquan God Realm cultivation.

However, within their Green Dragon God Clan, the Tianquan God Realm was already the most elite tier of combat power, and very few people could reach this Realm.

Even though she was the Saintess of the Green Dragon God Clan, she might not necessarily be able to enlist the help of such experts.

She could only place her hopes on the Tianji God Realm experts sent by the clan, praying they could take down the traitor in one fell swoop!

On the other side, Senior Guang and the others had long been waiting in a state of anxious agitation and restlessness.

If Lin Ran and the others had a falling out with Saintess Qin Mengyao, and in a fit of rage, killed her and fled, wouldn't that be even worse?

They were here now, knowing nothing, effectively placing Saintess Qin Mengyao's life in the hands of a group of strangers.

It would be a miracle if they could be at ease!

"Senior Guang!" Just as Senior Guang and the others were feeling anxious and uneasy, Saintess Qin Mengyao's voice suddenly rang out.

Senior Guang and the others were overjoyed and looked over quickly, discovering that Saintess Qin Mengyao was returning together with Lin Ran.

"Saintess!" Senior Guang hurriedly bowed, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

Regardless of anything else, as long as Saintess Qin Mengyao returned safe and sound, everything else was not a problem.

"Senior Guang, rest assured. This stinky little brother didn't do anything to me. On the contrary, he even told me where that traitor is currently located."

Saintess Qin Mengyao said with a smile.

Senior Guang looked at the unflappable Lin Ran with astonishment, momentarily at a loss for words.

Just a moment ago, they had still held hostility toward Lin Ran, wishing they could kill him.

But now, Lin Ran had turned around and told them the location of the traitor. This surprise had truly come too suddenly!

"Additionally, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid we would have perished."

Saintess Qin Mengyao said with a smile.

"Saintess, what do you mean by that?" Senior Guang and the others' eyelids twitched, and they asked hurriedly.

"According to the information he gave me, through some coincidental Opportunity, that traitor's cultivation has already broken through to the Tianji God Realm."

"Furthermore, the traitor stole our clan's divine scripture, so I don't know what level its strength has reached."

"If we had found that traitor on our own, Senior Guang, just imagine: would there be any possibility of us returning alive?"

Saintess Qin Mengyao said.

Senior Guang and the others were shocked, their expressions changing strangely as they wondered what to think.

Just as Saintess Qin Mengyao had said, the traitor had already broken through to the Tianji God Realm. If they had truly found the traitor while remaining ignorant of this fact...

I fear the one who would have died would not have been the traitor, but them!

After all, the traitor knew full well that the situation between it and the Green Dragon God Clan was already one of irreconcilable enmity. Even if it killed them and killed Saintess Qin Mengyao, it wouldn't make the situation any worse.

Therefore, if they were to encounter the traitor, it certainly would not show them any mercy!

Thinking of this, Senior Guang's expression became extremely ugly, his gaze shifting uncertainly. In the end, he actually walked toward Lin Ran and bowed deeply.

"Young Master, it was our recklessness earlier that led to our misunderstood conflict with you."

"We ask that you do not take offense and can forgive us."
